I have had him since May and have had no problems with him. He is about 2-2.5". Very easy to care for. Just about 3-4" substrate, a water dish and hide. However, he only used the hide for the first month or so and then decided to burrow under his water dish. And that is where he stays! Usually eats about 2-3 large crickets/week and then disappears for a few weeks. I haven't seen him in about 3 weeks now. I don't handle as I'm terrified of spiders. When he is out I could watch for hours. For my first T he has been an excellent example. Has made me want to get another someday. Good luck with your new addition.</p></blockquote><p></p>
